Muslim groups call for anti-terror demonstration in Amsterdam

A number of Dutch Muslim organisations are planning to hold a gathering on the Dam in central Amsterdam on Friday to show their solidarity with the people of Brussels following Tuesday's deadly bomb attacks.

'Jew, Muslim, Christian or person without religion; every person of good will has been hit by the terrible images which reached us from Brussels on Tuesday,' said Said Bouharrou, spokesman for the Moroccan Council of Mosques in the Netherlands.

'Terror group Daesh is abusing Islam in an inhumane way, close to our borders. Terrorists may be able to take our brothers and sisters from us, but they will never take away our freedoms,' he is quoted as saying by news agency ANP.
